Additional information: LyX 1.2.3 has the same problem on my system (debian testing)
The output from ldd /usr/local/bin/lyx libflimage.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libflimage.so.1 (0x4001f000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x40068000) -> libforms.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.so.1 (0x40086000) libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x4010a000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x40118000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x40120000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40136000) libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 => /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 (0x401f1000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4023a000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4025b000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40376000) -> libforms.so.0.89 => not found libtiff.so.3 => /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3 (0x40383000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x403c5000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x403c9000) So it is linked against both versions. I do not have libxforms installed, allthough I had before I installed version 1.0. Any comments from the developers or other debian users?
